Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

As the honeymoon phase of marriage fades and the realities of life set in, maintaining quality time together can become a challenge for many couples. How can you stay true to your promise of spending time together? How much time are you spending with your spouse? Is it as much as your first three years? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co For the majority of couples, this is not the case. You spend less time every year you remain married. However, in order to stay happily married (with work), you need to spend time together. We have been married now 31 years, been together for 34 1/2 years. That's a LONG time! But how much of that time has been spent together? That is really the question that we need to be asking ourselves. Because there is no way you can have a strong foundation in your marriage if you don't spend time together. So let's first look at some reasons why our time together is limited. The initial excitement and romance may dwindle amidst the responsibilities of life. A. Busy Schedules: Juggling work commitments, household responsibilities, children's activities, and social engagements can leave couples with little time for each other. Long work hours and demanding schedules can make it challenging to find moments of togetherness amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life. B. Technology Distractions: In today's digital age, constant connectivity through smartphones, tablets, and social media can detract from quality time spent with a partner. As couples get absorbed in their screens, meaningful face-to-face interactions and bonding experiences may be put on the back burner. C. Different Priorities: Each partner may have their own individual priorities, interests, and goals, which can sometimes lead to conflicting schedules and diverging paths. Balancing personal ambitions with shared time as a couple requires compromise, understanding, and a willingness to prioritize the relationship. D. Lack of Communication: Poor communication or misaligned expectations can hinder couples from effectively planning and coordinating their time together. Assumptions about each other's needs and preferences can lead to misunderstandings and missed opportunities for connection. E. Financial Constraints: Financial pressures and concerns about budgeting can limit the opportunities for couples to engage in activities that require spending money, such as dining out, attending events, or going on vacations. Strained finances can create added stress and barriers to quality time together. F. Parenting Responsibilities: Raising children adds another layer of complexity to spending time together as a couple. Parenting duties, childcare logistics, and the demands of nurturing a family can consume much of parents' time and energy, leaving little room for romantic or leisure activities. G. Relationship Struggles: Underlying issues within the relationship, such as unresolved conflicts, emotional distance, or lack of intimacy, can make it challenging for couples to prioritize spending time together. Relationship discord can create barriers to fostering connection and closeness. H. External Pressures: External stressors such as job insecurity, health concerns, family dynamics, or societal expectations can impact couples' ability to focus on their relationship and make time for shared experiences. These outside pressures can overshadow the importance of nurturing the marital bond. Navigating these challenges requires compassion, communication, and a mutual commitment to overcoming obstacles as a team. By acknowledging the various factors that can impede quality time together, couples can proactively address these issues and strengthen their relationship bonds. The K.I.S.S. ~ Just do it! In the midst of the chaos, how can spouses hold true to their promise of spending meaningful time together? 1. Prioritize Chats: Effective communication is key to navigating the complexities of marriage. Psychologist Dr. John Gottman once said, "Staying connected and feeling close is important for marital satisfaction." Regularly check in with your spouse about your schedules, feelings, and needs. Make time for open and honest conversations to ensure that you are on the same page about your priorities and commitments. 2. Schedule Quality Time: Life can get busy, but it is essential to carve out dedicated time for each other. Relationship expert Esther Perel emphasizes the importance of quality over quantity, stating, "It's not the amount of time spent together, but the quality of the interactions that truly matters." Plan date nights, weekend getaways, or simple activities like cooking together or taking a walk in the park. By intentionally setting aside time for each other, you can nurture your connection and strengthen your bond. 3. Show Appreciation and Affection: Small gestures of love and appreciation can go a long way in reaffirming your commitment to each other. "In the busyness of life, don't forget to pause and show gratitude for your partner." ~ Kristianne Wargo Express your love through kind words, thoughtful gestures, and physical touch. Acts of kindness and affection can reignite the spark in your relationship and remind your spouse that they are cherished. In the midst of life's challenges, staying true to your promise of spending time together requires effort, intentionality, and a genuine commitment to nurturing your relationship. By prioritizing communication, scheduling quality time, and showing appreciation and affection, you can strengthen your bond and weather any storm that comes your way. Remember, marriage is a journey that requires both partners to actively invest in each other's happiness and well-being. "Be present. Be incredible.

When it comes to parenting, being in the thick of it can feel like you're never going to escape it. Dreams are forgotten, tempers are heightened, and change becomes the norm. But remember, your best days are ahead. Parenting is a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows, laughter and tears, and victories and setbacks. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co It's a journey that tests your patience, resilience, and tenacity on a daily basis. As children grow and evolve, so do the challenges that come with each stage of their development. Just when you think you have figured it all out, a new curveball is thrown your way. It's during these moments of uncertainty and frustration that parents often find themselves questioning their abilities and wondering if they're on the right path. The key to surviving parenting lies in embracing the journey, staying true to yourself, and believing that your best days are ahead. So, what can parents do to navigate the ups and downs of parenting while maintaining their sanity and holding onto hope for brighter tomorrows? Embrace the parenting journey. The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace the parenting journey! Here are three essential strategies to help you weather the storms and emerge stronger than ever when it comes to parenting: 1. Embrace Imperfection: Parenting is not about being perfect; it's about being present. Allow yourself the grace to make mistakes, learn from them, and grow alongside your children. Celebrate the small victories, laugh at the inevitable mishaps, and remember that imperfection is what makes your family unique and beautiful. 2. Prioritize Self-Care: Amidst the chaos of daily life, it's crucial for parents to prioritize self-care and carve out moments of rest and rejuvenation. Take time for yourself, whether it's indulging in a hobby, going for a walk, or simply enjoying a quiet cup of coffee in the morning. By nurturing your own well-being, you'll be better equipped to handle the demands of parenting with grace and resilience. 3. Cultivate Resilience: Parenting is a marathon, not a sprint. It's a journey filled with unexpected twists and turns, but it's also a testament to your strength and resilience as a parent. When faced with challenges, instead of giving up, dig deep, lean on your support system, and remind yourself that you have the power to overcome any obstacle that comes your way. "Resilience is not about never falling, but about rising every time you fall, knowing that your best days are ahead." ~ Kristianne Wargo So, dear parents, in the midst of the chaos and uncertainties, remember that your best days are indeed ahead. Embrace the imperfections, prioritize self-care, and cultivate resilience – for the journey of parenting is paved with challenges, but also with boundless opportunities for growth, love, and joy.

Are you the person who is trying to do everything right because what needs to happen is not? Unfortunately, this is something that can't be controlled by you, working hard to shine in the darkness--But there is hope! "Hope is not about controlling the uncontrollable, but about finding strength within to navigate the storm." - Kristianne Wargo Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co In the depths of despair, when all seems lost and the darkness threatens to consume you, a glimmer of hope is waiting to be rediscovered within yourself. Life's challenges can be overwhelming, pushing us to our limits and testing our resilience. But even in the midst of chaos and uncertainty, we have the power to rise above, to brightly shine in the darkness. How does one rediscover hope within when life is nothing but lemons? Finding that lemonade in the bowels of despair is so challenging. In fact, it can be debilitating. It's easy to feel defeated, to question your worth and capabilities. At some point, you have to draw the line so you can move forward. True strength lies in your ability to adapt, to rise above our circumstances and find meaning even in the most challenging moments. It's about shifting your perspective, seeing beyond the darkness to the light in front of you. "Sometimes the boundaries may seem fuzzy, but it's in those moments of uncertainty that we discover the possibilities." - Kristianne Wargo The K.I.S.S. ~ Shine in the darkness! Life is a roller coaster with twists and turns, ups and downs, backwards and forwards. However, you don't have to let your feelings dictate your actions or behaviors. Keep your mind focused on what matters. Make sure you have a confidant you can speak with to get it off your chest if need be. Then, show up like you know how to shine in the darkness. Navigating that roller coaster of life requires resilience, determination, and unwavering faith in yourself. You must learn to trust in your own abilities, to embrace the twists and turns with courage and grace. Even when the path ahead seems impossible, you have what it takes to choose your response, to show up and shine in the darkness. "Your true strength shines through when you refuse to let your feelings dictate your actions." - Kristianne Wargo Shine in the Darkness by Kristianne Wargo In the chaos and the clutter, where darkness reigns supreme, I find myself lost in the mess, a mere fragment of a dream. Life's twists and turns have led me astray, But deep within, a flicker of hope still lights the way. Boundaries blurred, uncertainties loom, Yet within me, a strength begins to bloom. I refuse to be defined by the chaos around, For in the heart of the storm, resilience is found. When life hands me lemons, sour to the taste, I choose to rise above with unwavering grace. Through the twists and turns, I navigate with might, Embracing the challenges, basking in the light. In the depths of despair, I uncover a spark, A beacon of hope that pierces through the dark. I let my light shine, radiant and true, Guiding me forward, illuminating the view. So in the midst of the mess, I stand tall and bright, Rediscovering myself in the depths of the night. With courage and faith, I reclaim my own way, Finding strength in the chaos, where I choose to stay. "Be present. Be incredible.

In the realm of healthy living, each individual's path is as unique as a fingerprint. While it's tempting to compare your progress, the key to success lies in running your own race. And when you do, you get the unexpected win. "Healthy living is not a competition against others, but a journey towards your best self." ~ Kristianne Wargo Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co So let's talk a little about that comparison. Why do you get caught up in all the stuff of everyone else? Mostly, it can be curiosity. But when the desire to be better than someone, that's when the gloves come out. That's when the competition is on. And that's when you lose. You also can't forget that rampage of getting everything done quickly. Looking for that quick fix is a real deal. Or is it? One must think how long it took for you to get to where you are. Therefore, it's going to be a journey for sure. Don't get lost in someone else's journey. Stay the course designed for you. There, you will create your now and experience the unexpected win. The K.I.S.S. ~ Don't get lost! I am still having flashbacks of an incredible Olympics in Paris. And when I think about the 1500 Men's Race, it's one of those races that truly highlights in real life how not getting lost is the key to success. Cole Hocker came out ready to utilize his training and strategy to run the best race for him. It wasn't about the current world and olympic champion. This Olympic 1500m race was for him to go and show up and do what he trained to do. So let's take a page out of Cole Hocker's training manual. #1. Run Your Own Race: The Men's 1500 race serves as a poignant reminder that success is not dictated by external factors, but by our internal drive and dedication. The gold medalist didn't focus on outshining his competitors; instead, he devoted himself to rigorous training and staying true to his race strategy. Similarly, in the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle, it's essential to set personal goals, listen to your body, and stay committed to your wellness journey. Remember, the only person you should strive to be better than is the person you were yesterday. #2. Don't Be Intimidated by the Hype: In a world saturated with trends and influencers, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the noise and pressure to conform. However, true success in healthy living comes from authenticity and self-assurance. Just like the underdog runner, Cole Hocker, who clinched the gold medal victory in the Men's 1500 race, don't be swayed by external validation or comparisons. Stay focused on your health goals, block out the distractions, and trust in your own capabilities. Your journey is unique, and your accomplishments are worth celebrating, regardless of the spotlight. #3. Expect the Unexpected: Life has a way of surprising us when we least expect it. The unexpected victory in the Men's 1500 race serves as a testament to the power of resilience and faith. Similarly, in the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle, be open to the possibility of unexpected breakthroughs. Sometimes, the most significant transformations come from unlikely sources or unforeseen circumstances. Embrace the unknown, trust in your journey, and believe in the potential for growth and positive change. CHALLENGE: Where are you in your health journey? Where are the struggles? Where are your celebrations? See what's possible because you're looking at your lane. Don't get lost in someone else's journey. Stay the course designed for you. There, you will create your now and experience the unexpected win! "Be present. Be incredible.

Have you ever felt that stirring within you, a yearning to step into the unknown, to take that leap of faith, but fear holds you back? What if you could move past your comfort zone and seize your fear? Putting yourself out there means embracing vulnerability, uncertainty, and the thrill of possibility. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co It's about taking chances, boldly paving your way, and refusing to let fear dictate your choices. "Courage is not the absence of fear but the willingness to do it afraid." It's normal to feel apprehensive when venturing into uncharted territory, but true growth and transformation lie beyond your comfort zone. Embrace the fear, acknowledge it, and then take that courageous step forward. You may not have all the answers or a foolproof plan, but daring to start before you feel ready is the key to progress. Sometimes, all it takes is a leap of faith, a decision to trust yourself and walk with God. Perfectionism and overthinking can be paralyzing; instead, focus on taking small, intentional steps toward your goals. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo The K.I.S.S. ~ Seize your fear! Remember, growth begins at the edge of your comfort zone. Life coach Tony Robbins affirms, "If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten." Break free from the cycle of indecision and self-doubt. Seize your fear. Embrace the uncertainty and trust in your inherent resilience. The magic happens when you decide to step into your power and embrace the journey, challenges, and all. So, if you are the one who has been hesitating, debating, and waiting for the "perfect" moment – take this as your sign. Seize your fear, take that first step. It's time to create your now!

Giving up and quitting shuts the doors to your possibilities. But what if you could keep the doors open and pivot in a way that changes everything? Change your thoughts, change your mind—leave no stone unturned. Giving up and quitting can feel like a weight lifted off your shoulders in the moment. It's a tempting escape from the challenges, setbacks, and uncertainties that come with pursuing your dreams. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co However, what is often overlooked is the aftermath of that decision - the lingering sense of unfulfilled potential, regret, and wondering "what if." The journey to success is rarely a straight path, and it's natural to encounter moments of doubt, fatigue, and frustration along the way. You can get yourself wrapped up in this cyclone of chaos. Acknowledging these feelings and the difficulties that come with persevering is essential in understanding the true value of not giving up. It requires a deep, introspective look at your motivations, fears, and aspirations. "Acknowledging your feelings is the first step towards transformation." ~ Kristianne Wargo By allowing yourself to sit with discomfort, uncertainty, and vulnerability, you pave the way for personal growth and resilience. Quitting may offer temporary relief, but it robs you of the opportunity to witness your own strength, resilience, and capacity for growth. It also denies the world the chance to experience the unique gifts and talents you have to offer. "Quitting shrinks your world, while persistence expands your horizons." ~ Kristianne Wargo The K.I.S.S. ~ Expand your horizons! Success leaves clues, and dreams leave an impression. Don't let what isn't working shut you out. 1. Face Challenges Head-On: To move past the urge of giving up, it's crucial to confront your fears and doubts head-on. Rather than avoiding obstacles, confront them with courage and determination. "Obstacles are opportunities in disguise." ~ Kristianne Wargo By reframing challenges as chances for growth and learning, you can navigate them more effectively and emerge stronger on the other side. Embrace discomfort as a sign of progress and push through difficulties. You must forge ahead. Remember, the most significant growth often occurs outside your comfort zone. 2. Cultivate a Growth Mindset: Adopting a growth mindset is crucial in leaving no stone unturned. Rather than viewing your abilities and intelligence as fixed traits, recognize that they can be developed through dedication and effort. "Success begins with a single thought." ~ Kristianne Wargo By believing in your capacity for improvement and embracing lifelong learning, you open yourself up to endless possibilities. As you navigate the ups and downs of your journey, remember that setbacks are not signs of failure but lessons in disguise. Every obstacle you encounter, every moment of doubt you confront, is an opportunity to strengthen your resolve, sharpen your skills, and deepen your understanding of yourself. By embracing the discomfort and choosing to persevere, you not only unlock your full potential but also inspire others to do the same. 3. Seek Support and Accountability: Surround yourself with a supportive community that encourages your journey toward success. Share your goals and aspirations with trusted friends, mentors, or coaches who can provide guidance, motivation, and accountability. "Strength in numbers is not just a statistic, it's a reality." ~ Kristianne Wargo By forming connections with individuals and a community that uplifts and inspires you, you create a network of allies who can help you stay focused, motivated, and committed to your path. As you and I both know, quitting may seem like an easy way out, but the true test of character lies in your ability to push through adversity, rise above challenges, and emerge stronger on the other side. So, when faced with the temptation to give up, remember that acknowledging your feelings and embracing the discomfort is the first step to leave no stone unturned. "Be present. Be incredible.

No matter how life shows up for you, God celebrates you. The joy beyond your circumstances doesn't happen as a result of your control. Because God loves you, it's a party every day! Are you familiar with the parable of the prodigal son told by Jesus? (Luke 15:11-32) Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co There lived a wealthy man with two sons. The younger son, full of restlessness and ambition, approached his father one day and demanded his share of the inheritance. Despite his father's sorrow, the inheritance was divided, and the young man set off to a distant country where he squandered his wealth on wild living. As misfortune befell him, the young son found himself destitute and hungry, yearning for the comfort of his father's home. With a heavy heart and tattered clothes, he journeyed back, rehearsing his apology and hoping for a place even as a servant in his father's house. But as he approached, his father saw him from afar and ran to meet him. With tears in his eyes and love in his heart, the father embraced his wayward son, showering him with forgiveness and grace. "Welcome home, my child," he proclaimed, "for you were lost, but now you are found." The older son, watching from a distance, harbored resentment towards his brother's return and the father's lavish welcome. But the father, in his wisdom, reminded him of the joy in redemption and the power of forgiveness. "All that I have is yours," he assured, "but today, let us celebrate the return of your brother, for he was lost and now is found." The K.I.S.S. ~ It's a party every day! God loves you! But for whatever reason, we want to control our own lives to the depths of screwing it up even more. In reading this parable, the Greek word used that talks about dividing up the property is "βίος" (pronounced as "baiyos"), and it means the sustenance of life or livelihood. It wasn't just material things. That's not the wealth Jesus was referring to. It literally was the sustenance that gives you life (food, clothing, shelter). The story of the Prodigal Son mirrors God's desire for us – to forgive those who have wronged us, to welcome back those who have strayed, and to show compassion and empathy to all, regardless of their past actions. God asks us to see it differently because He sees it differently. So maybe you're more lost than you thought you were. Maybe you need to look and see how tight your fists are holding on and trying to control everything. Are you screaming in your mind, "I can find myself. I can save myself."? Just Come Home. It's a party every day. God will be waiting to celebrate you! Give up what you can't control and let love multiply. It's a party every day! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

Marriage is a journey filled with highs and lows, twists and turns, love and conflict. When the path becomes rocky and the future seems uncertain, many couples find themselves asking, "Is it really over?" The truth is that the end of a marriage is not a sudden event that occurs out of the blue. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Life doesn't stop on a dime unless it's death. Therefore, your marriage doesn't die overnight. It takes days, weeks, months, and years for the unraveling to appear--that gradual unraveling of the bond that once held two people together. But amidst the turmoil, there is always a glimmer of hope, a flicker of light that suggests all may not be lost. You have to go beyond the hurt. The K.I.S.S. ~ Go beyond the hurt! One crucial thing to remember is that marriage is not a static entity. It is a living, breathing entity that evolves over time. What once seemed insurmountable challenges may, in fact, be opportunities for growth and transformation. As relationships shift and change, so too can the dynamics within a marriage. It's important to recognize that things can change. Communication breakdowns, unresolved conflicts, and feelings of disconnect are not insurmountable obstacles. With commitment, effort, and a willingness to work through difficulties, couples can overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges and emerge stronger on the other side. However, change takes time. Healing old wounds, rebuilding trust, and rekindling intimacy requires patience, dedication, and perseverance. There are no quick fixes or easy solutions when it comes to repairing a fractured marriage. It is a process that unfolds gradually, requiring ongoing effort and a shared commitment to the relationship. "In the darkest moments of a marriage, there is always a glimmer of hope waiting to be nurtured and embraced." ~ Kristianne Wargo This sentiment encapsulates the essence of resilience, determination, and unwavering faith in the possibility of renewal and regeneration within a marriage. When faced with the uncertainty of a troubled marriage, remember that it is never truly over until both parties have exhausted every possible avenue for reconciliation. By acknowledging that marriage is a dynamic, ever-evolving entity, by believing that change is possible, and by committing to the long and often arduous journey of rebuilding a fractured relationship, couples can discover that there is indeed hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Why does back-to-school have to be so crazy? It doesn't matter if you have kids or not, life is disrupted all around. So, instead of driving yourself crazy, know that you can tame the back-to-school chaos. Transitioning from the laid-back days of summer to the hustle and bustle of a new school year can be a chaotic time for families. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Whether you're a parent trying to juggle schedules or a student bracing for new challenges, the back-to-school season can feel overwhelming. But fear not, there are ways to tame the back-to-school chaos and make this transition smoother for everyone involved. The K.I.S.S. ~ Fear not! 1. RUN A ROUTINE--Establishing a routine is one key strategy for parents to stay organized during the back-to-school madness. Creating a consistent schedule helps children feel secure and prepares them for what to expect each day. By setting regular bedtimes, meal times, and study times, parents can help their children adjust to the new school year with less stress. 2. FEEL THE FEARS--Another effective way to tackle the back-to-school chaos is to communicate openly with your child about their fears and concerns. You want to encourage your child to share their feelings about school openly. Validate their emotions and offer reassurance that you are there to support them every step of the way. When you have this open dialogue, it can help your child feel heard and understood, easing their anxieties about the upcoming school year. 3. REST IN THE RUSH--Finally, one of the most powerful tools for taming the back-to-school chaos is to take care of yourself. Take time to relax and recharge, whether it's through exercise, meditation, or enjoying a hobby. "Remember that you can't pour from an empty cup. Taking care of yourself is not selfish, it's necessary for your well-being and the well-being of your family." ~ Kristianne Wargo The back-to-school season doesn't have to be synonymous with chaos and stress. By establishing routines, fostering open communication with your child, and prioritizing self-care, parents can navigate this busy time with greater ease and effectiveness. Remember, a little preparation and self-care can go a long way in taming the back-to-school chaos for a smoother transition into the new school year. "Be present. Be incredible.

Change does not occur in someone else's lane, and you won't find what is meant for you either. Stay on track. Run your own race. This is your life to live. It reminds me of the "monkey see, monkey do." We have a cat and a dog; Snickers and Rhino. We were trying to get Rhino, the dog, to go to bed, but he had no interest.

We have a cat and a dog; Snickers and Rhino. We were trying to get Rhino, the dog, to go to bed, but he had no interest. In fact, as he stretched out on the floor, Snickers did the same thing. I looked at my daughter and said, "Monkey see, monkey do." This is how we live most of our lives. You take what you see and then go and do. But how is that working for you? How is it going from one track to another, hoping for a different result? It's one thing to have role models and coaches with demonstrations and plans. But who stops long enough to track what is really working, even for the one who is being watched? The K.I.S.S. ~ Stay on track! Don't lose sight of YOUR goal. You are running your race. When you watch the Olympics, it's not about your competitors. It's about the heart that beats in the lane your body stands. If you are so worried about who you are running next to, you will miss the start of your own race. Comparison is a trap and will hold you back. There's no reason in this season to settle. Stay on track. See what's before you. Know where you came from, and keep looking forward. Your presence is what will gain attention as you stay in your lane. Defeat is only on your heels if you look side to side. Stay on track. Be ready for the attack. You get to run your race. So set the pace. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?
